What is it he’s seeking? 0bama is seeking shelter for the next 3 years from several scandals that threaten to bring him down. Imagine launching a few cruise missiles into Syria which begets a retaliatory response from Iran. So the next 3 years we will be at war with the ayatollahs to divert attention away from the illegal alien in the White House as well as all of his illegal and unconstitutional acts.

“I can’t answer that, what we’re seeking.”

Is this a bad script or are these words from the leaders of the free world?

Let the potus get in one of those circus cannons and we can fire him across a bow somewhere.

[ThunderSleeps]

I can’t tell you - in other words trust us. Um, that’ll be no. Not a chance in h#ll, not with the BS we’ve seen continually coming out of this administration.

[MulberryDraw]

Economy sucks, too many scandals in the administration, start a war.

Evil droolers and belly button gazers.

Dempsey is a loser

They harass us for answers, votes and money but we cannot bother them with explanation of objectives?

Gotcha, the only objective is tyranny then.

Frankly, I would prefer an unserious shot across the bow to a serious war. Doesn’t Charles realize by now that serious wars have serious consequences? Can the War Party at least wait until we enounter an actual threat to our national security before launching the next serious war?

This year alone, Israel has four times conducted airstrikes in Syria. No Syrian response. How did Israel get away with it? Israel had announced that it would not tolerate Assad acquiring or transferring to Hezbollah advanced weaponry. No grandiloquent speeches by the Israeli foreign minister. No leaked target lists. Indeed, the Israelis didn’t acknowledge the strikes even after they had carried them out. Unlike the American president, they have no interest in basking in perceived toughness. They care only about effect. They care about just one audience — the party to be deterred, namely Assad and his allies.

Assad knows who did it. He didn’t have to see the Israeli prime minister preening about it on world television.

This really says it all. You can't take the community organizer out of him. It's like a stench that won't go away.

This time, Chris Matthews nailed it-it’s all about “saving Obama’s hide.” Is it worth American assets and American blood to help Obama save face? Only to Chris Matthews.

[DoodleDawg]

Unless Obama can show the country that his don’t-mock-me airstrike is, in fact, part of a serious strategic plan, Congress should vote no.

I don't care what his strategic plan is, Congress should still vote no. Bombing Syria is not in this country's best interest.
